Bobbi Kristina Brown‘s former boyfriend Nick Gordon has been arrested for domestic battery and false imprisonment, Seminole County Sheriff’s office has confirmed to PEOPLE.

TMZ first reported that Gordon was taken into custody in Sanford, Florida, after his current girlfriend filed a police report Saturday morning alleging Gordon had beaten her Friday night and held her in her home. The sheriff’s office confirmed the charges to PEOPLE and said that Gordon was still being held in jail as of Saturday afternoon.

Gordon was previously found civilly liable for the death of his girlfriend Bobbi Kristina Brown — Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown‘s only child together. He was ordered to pay $36 million to the estate of his former girlfriend in November 2016.

On Jan. 31, 2015, Brown was found unconscious and unresponsive in the bathtub of the Georgia townhouse she shared with Gordon. She was later moved to a moved to a medical rehab center in March 2015, before she was transferred to an Atlanta-area hospice facility, where she died on July 26, 2015.

Friday [September 16], Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford said Gordon has “admitted through omission” allegations Brown’s estate have raised, according to Atlanta’s 11 Alive. In the $50 million lawsuit filed in 2015, Brown’s estate accused Gordon of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and transferring unauthorized money from his former girlfriend’s account to his own.

Now there will be a jury trial to determine what Gordon has to pay back.
